"Swing the mighty hammer of physical integration" new video on electric potential by integrating over the charge distribution! #physics #iteachphysics #electricpotential #integration #physicsed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPF6kPRKfFc
Electric potential as an integral over the charge distribution + uniformly charged ring potential.

New video on electric potential (as a path integral) just completed. Includes examples with parallel plates and the spherical conductor. #iteachphysics #physicstwitter #physics #eandm #electricpotential #physicsvideo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSk1Oaadhrw
Introduction to electric potential + examples: parallel plate capacitor and charged sphere potential

Footage from the "2D gas simulator" I built in 2018 for a student research project. I really needed more energy to get higher frequency of collisions etc., but the velocity components came out pretty close to normal. #iteachphysics #physicsed #idealgases #statmech #physicslab
New video on electric potential energy and applications to uniform and point charge fields tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6LDP7JvhbE #physics #physicsed #iteachphysics #potentialenergy #electrostatics #calcphysics
Introduction to electric potential energy (calculus based physics version).

Wrapping up a new video on electric potential energy tomorrow . . . in this scene I'm covering the case of uniform electric field. #physics #E&M #iteachphysics #science #electricfield #potentialenergy
Original Doppler efffect animations I developed for a physics course last week: subsonic speed, mach 1, mach 1.5 and mach 2 visualizations of the formation of the sound barrier and the shock wave cone.

A little piece of mathematical art I made after coding a doppler effect animation for a physics course: these points generate shock waves as they travel around a polar rose curve. https://youtube.com/shorts/RTWbdzmK0r0 #mathart #doppler #physics #computerart #scienceanimation #science #shockwave
The art of physics: Doppler effect visualization using new Doppler code for two objects. #shorts
